“Only when the ripples have subsided and the water is calm, is it possible for us to catch a glimpse of the bottom” Swami Vivekananda

Day 1 of ROOTED🌱

Today we focused on the power of the pause. Stepping out of doing and into being.

Our minds often drift into the future or wander into the past, leaving us caught up in the what-ifs, could’ves, and should’ves.

In today’s meditation, we practiced using our breath and body to bring us back to the present moment. To notice what’s there and begin creating space within.

A beautiful way to begin our journey into ROOTED, learning to pause, turn inward, and strengthen our connection to ourselves. 🌱 by @ywcaoahu
